I will borrow toys for my kids instead of buying new or used.

The numbers #1-7 on plastics tell us a lot and can help us be better recyclers. I will learn more about what the symbols on plastics mean.

I will make  2 of my own cleaning products (cleaners, detergents, soaps) instead of buying them in new spray bottles each time.

Manufacturers want you to replace your phones every year. I will keep my phone for at least 3 years and make any necessary repairs or updates to keep it functioning as long as possible.

I will plan an herb or vegetable garden for next year at my home, workplace, or community garden.

I will avoid 10 plastic bags each shopping trip by not bagging my produce or using reusable produce bags.

Each trip to the grocery store I will purchase 5 products from the bulk section using my own containers.

I will try a new recipe or food preparation method, such as canning, pickling, making yogurt, or baking granola bars or bread.

I will skip eating out and bring a lunch from home in reusable containers.

I will use reusable dishes and silverware when eating at work.
